Find your family using DNA and genealogy

DNA and Genealogy Research Services

Are you new to DNA testing and want to know what all the “talk” is about and how DNA testing can help you find your family? Are you confused by the types of DNA tests available or which DNA testing company is best for your research goals? Do you have DNA test results and don’t know what they mean or what to do with them? Do you have a “brick wall” family member you are trying to find and need both traditional, document-based research in combination with DNA research to try to find your family member? I provide both one-on-one individual DNA consultations to help you understand DNA testing and your DNA results and also custom research projects combining traditional genealogical research with genetic genealogy.
